So: Should guys like us give advice to our model/starfucker compadres? If so what? My sense is he's seen this play out for as long (or longer) than I have. Generally speaking, you just run and hear the sad tale as we sip our morning tea. Have we any duties here?

His are more of the variety who appear in Sports Illustrated and on sitcoms and TV drama and think that A-list actor or director is totally going to hook them up with a major motion picture. May or may not be applicable to the wilder stripe. Not sure.
To a point. I should qualify my remarks: Obviously, there is nothing wrong with sleeping with celebrities + some models would qualify as such. I know women who have the famous folks seeking them out not vice versa.Quote:

There is only so much you can tell someone you care about how it is, though. I try to express very general concepts about how the world is and how I wish it were and people will take it very personally.
A beautiful girl does not want to hear that the guy she thinks is her knight in shining armor is really never going to stay with her or give her what she wants in life. She doesn't want to know that she will be traded in for a younger, thinner one as she staledates. She might come back, after making the mistake anyway, and tell you you were right or she might still want to shoot the messenger.
In general, I try to get my general ideas out there, but not point stuff like that out on a direct personal level where it would be meant personally.
Yeah but on the other side of the coin, the girl from the middle of nowhere is banging the C-lister with the eye on a B-lister, looking to move up the pyramid. The nasty truth is that yeah, guys trade women in for younger models but far more often, girls go "wait a sec, one divorce court later (no cause necessary) and I get half his stuff and his money, and can move on to someone else."
Psychology shows men get attached to women FAR more than the inverse, and women will toss your ass out on a dime, mostly for doing your level best to make her happy.
I feel no sympathy for anyone trying to fuck her way into or out of a job, she gets what she deserves.
I generally won't both beyond basic workings I've seen as well. It's kind of sad to see people repeat certain mistakes, but they are ultimately their mistakes to make. There is an odd romanticism to the let-downs even. I usually shy away from women like this when I see it. They will inevitably cross boundaries.Quote:

Men take breakups far harder, while her and her friends are cheering her financial windfall and celebrating her divorce, he's moving into bachelor towers and living on Lean Cuisine on sale cause it expired four days ago.
I can see that happening in the context of divorce + $Quote:

YMMV however, and for the record, I believe NOBODY here is like that...
which is why I am here.
